The Xperia M2 faces stiff competition from one our favourite ever budget handsets, the Motorola Moto G. In many respects it’s not as good as the 4G version of that, and it does feel like you’re paying slightly over the odds in this case just for the Sony branding. This is less of an issue at the new, lower, price. If you’re looking for fairly large screen without breaking the bank, the 4.8-inch Xperia M2 is a decent mid-range choice. Though the design is good, the build isn’t quite as exciting. It’s good, just not top-end. Sony has done away with the glass and metal it used in the Xperia Z2 and opted instead for mostly plastic. Despite having a higher-spec sensor, the M2’s photos look uglier than the lower-cost competition thanks to overzealous sharpening.

In this case you need to get a replacement SD card for your device.Similar to the CPU, the GPU consists of processing units called cores. They handle the computation of graphics in various applications. However, start using the M2 and it becomes fairly apparent that this isn’t a phone of that grade. The first giveaway is the screen.

The speaker should also get a look at. Sony did so well to move the base mounted speaker on its Xperia Z2 handset but it hasn't changed this design flaw on the Xperia M2. It makes watching movies feel very disjointed and when holding the M2 in portrait I found that I was all too often covering it up. stand-by time is the longest time a battery charge will last, if the device is not used but is constantly connected to the 2G cellular network.
